Changelog:

04-23-2013 - Update (RootPlus)

* Removed option to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader, for safety reasons. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Hashcode's 2nd bootloader. The risk lies in recent updates from Amazon.

03-19-2013 - Update + bugfix (RootPlus)

* Fixed issue with 2nd bootloader install - everything works as it should now

* Added timestamp to saved partitions. Gives users the ability to save more than one set of partition images

03-18-2013 - Update: (RootPlus)

* Changed how 2nd bootloader is installed for compatibility with the KF2

* Added ability to update custom recovery. No need to update the script every time a new recovery is released.

* Added ability to choose partition images to be installed if more than one set exist in the BACKUP folder

* More intuitive restore of saved partition images - will hopefully prevent any chance of user error

03-16-2013 - Bugfix: (RootPlus)

* Fixed issue with permissions on the rootplus script

03-10-2013 - Update: (RootPlus)

* Added extra safety measures, including MD5 check on 2nd bootloader install

ok just got a new laptop and tried installing this and no go. i know its my fault..i have a fresh install of ubuntu 13.04 and i followed the instructions but when i double click the install.sh file all it does is open a document... when i installed this on my netbook with ubuntu 12.10 i had no issue. any help would be appreciated. i am new to linux
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Yeah, when I updated the script, I forgot to change the permissions...

Give me a little while and I'll fix it for you.

3-16-2013: Fixed issue with permissions on the rootplus script
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wojo797:
the issue wasnt with the rootplus it was with the soupkit itself the install.sh script
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
That's interesting. I checked the permissions for all scripts and executables before uploading.

I just checked on it again and they are all executable. Perhaps it has something to do with your settings or the version of Ubuntu you are using (only tested on 12.10 and earlier).

You can make a file or script executable by entering the following in the terminal:

sudo chmod a+x <file>

Or you can right-click on the file, select Properties > Permissions > "Allow executing file as program"

* Removed option to install Hashcode's 2nd bootloader, for safety reasons.

By the way, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Hashcode's 2nd bootloader. The risk lies in recent updates from Amazon and the requirement to downgrade the stock bootloader before continuing with the 2nd bootloader install process.

Hi,

I'm totally new to linux, and i managed to install the latest Linux mint (v14.0) I was also able to connect to the internet and i downloaded both the soupkit and rootplus using linux. I extractred the files and doubled clicked on the install.sh as per the readme file however, after i double click it, all the contents of the folder disappear and i don't get any options as per the readme file. The same happens with the rootplus install.sh file, all the files disappear.

These are the steps i've followed.

Installed Linux Mint v14.0 on the system after making necessary partitions(ext4 journal)

Internet connectivity present.

Downloaded both the files into the downloads folder and extracted them

double clicked on the install.sh file and everything disappeared fro the respective folders.

Please guide me as i'm completely blank here.

Regards,

CD
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] CosmicDance:
Hi,

I was able to make it work. Instead of double clicking the .sh file, i opened the terminal window in the extracted folder, got super user access and executed this command:

sh install.sh

So now my kindle is rooted and ads free.

Thanks a lot [MENTION=4425761]soupmagnet[/MENTION]. :)

"Soupkit Again" fails to install over the old soupkit?

I was running the Original soupkit on Mint 14.

I downloaded and installed "soupkit again" and root plus.

Root plus works but, not "soupkit again".

I installed the new soupkit over the old one.

The soupkit folder is there but, the soupkit.sh is missing.

If I install the old soupkit, the soupkit.sh file is there.

Additionally, all symlinks are gone.

The only way to run ADB and Fastboot is to move to the soupkit folder or path to it.

Is there a problem installing "soupkit again over the original soupkit and, how should this be accomplished?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Delete the bin folder and rerun installer.

Yes if you are installing over the first gen version they kinda wipe each other out.

i want to install a ROM on my ONE X .. but i dont want to download again all the apps that i already had .. how can i save them with there current settings and game scores .. so i can use them again after installing a ROM
[HTC One X] ViktorN:
You should have posted this to Q&A, this thread doesn't belong here.
[HTC One X] dsonex:
hmm...

unfortunately their is no easy way... sometimes backups using backup tools can work but they are hit and miss in my experience (for example could never get a decent backup of twicca with all my settings :( )

best thing to do is take snapshots of all your screens and in conjunction with playstore take your time to restore! picking a good rom is key to not having to repeat this process - i highly recommend renovate rom with xminsters kernel.

happy flashing
[HTC One X] trironny:
You can use appsaver on playstore or use titanium backup..

If u using appsaver app will save in appsaver folder...:)
[HTC One X+] djsynth:
I'm pretty sure Sense 5 will come to our HOX+ but the question is if it's worth updating ?

I currently am not impressed with its blinkfeed which is apparently the main deal with sense 5 I mean we already have apps for that such as pulse and flipboard that gathers all your news on your interested topics and works brilliantly, plus that clock and weather widget is the ugliest i've ever seen...

guy's please tell me im not alone here in thinking that sense 4/4+ looks much better??

and so the main question of this thread is "if we get a sense 5 update since technically its only running on jellybean 4.1 and not 4.2 it means its just a UI update, will you update? and if yes or no why??
[HTC One X+] killman2659:
Your not alone. I also think 4+ looks better. Hopefully by then there will be many AOSP ROMs for the ATT variant and I won't have to worry about upgrading a sense ROM. But if I had to choose I wouldn't take my time to update it unless it was a major update (like 4.2. X)
[HTC One X+] old_benj:
As far as I know, there should be PARTIAL sense 5 port for the devices released before hTC One. Let's see...
[HTC One X+] somemadcaaant:
Agreed, I don't like the static flat colourles icons and ill bet that blink feed will chew some battery, looks like a social only version of Google now and disabling that saves a nice bit of battery.

launcher looks a bit dull from vids I've seen.

Be interesting to see what they do with the camera app and driver quality for hox+.

Edit: just saw swipe to the left to go back to normal home screens, luckily.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

I very much doubt it will be cut down as theres no point not a lot added, new font and icons, blink app and new camera interface.
[HTC One X+] bobsie41:
Which will make sense more ram intensive?? :(
[HTC One X+] old_benj:
Sure. It will.
[HTC One X+] SomebodyEpic:
i think sense 4+ and 5 look good if they were put together
[HTC One X+] old_benj:
Actually we try to discuss the thing which nobody has yet :)
[HTC One X+] superchilpil:
I actually like the overall look, it still has the old widgets from 4+

Its only missing the skins, so no custom skins

Slithered from my HTC One X+
[HTC One X+] somemadcaaant:
No more then any other similar system app that's running eg Google now, any latest release game would be far more memory and system intensive then that.

As they have said sense 5 it a much leaner version of sense don't forget ;)
[HTC One X+] andy1969:
i acctually had a play with a htc one in my local 3 uk store today.

i acctually did not like the look of the phone at all and sense 5 is to me anyway horrible.

and with an upfront cost of £69 imho its a rip of.

i have the one x plus and i see no reason to get the htc one.

its as with all phone manufactures its a sales gimmick there is allways something better than what u have

but is it really better i for one are not convinced the htc one is better than my htc one x plus.

maybe it is better but i dont care as the hox plus does it all and more from a handset.
[HTC One X+] monkboy24:
That blink feed is going to chew the hell out of att data! lol you better get the 5gig plan #Blink killer:p
[HTC One X+] old_benj:
Nice signature :)
[HTC One X+] garfield-xda:
Sense 5 (if it is called Sense 5) looks quite like Yandex.Launcher, according to HO's promo pics.
[General Questions and Answers] aobmassivelc:
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II. I'm currently running beans Rom build 4, and the reason is this: any time I try to flash a newer build of his Rom, or any other Rom, when I restore from titanium (pro), my messaging will not open and force closes. This problem is very frustrating. I'm currently attempting to run nitroglycerine33's Eclipse Rom, as I loved it for my gnex. I think it may be a certificate issue I'm experiencing.. As nitro's messaging apk is 4.2.1 and it says the current Rom is 4.1.1. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, but I really need some help. I've tried uninstalling titanium backup and re downloading it and making new backups, I've tried several different builds of beans Rom and other roms, every time the messaging fails. Someone please help me if you can. Thanks so much
[General Questions and Answers] jmsato:
I'm not really sure though. Try Fixing Permissions option in recovery mode. Are you upgrading android versions or is it bug fixes?
[General Questions and Answers] aobmassivelc:
Tried fixing permissions in recovery to no avail. I'm trying to upgrade roms to new builds and switch in between roms.. never dirty flashing, always clean. Not sure if the Android version is upgrading or if the base is still 4.1.2 (for the Eclipse Rom).
[General Questions and Answers] aobmassivelc:
I've tried several options in titanium backup and I've tried different combos of restoring and backing up the messaging app and the smspush. I can not figure out how to achieve communication and have my stock sms working correctly! As it stands now, I'll be stuck on beans build 4 forever!
[General Questions and Answers] Eternalty:
What else are you trying to restore? Don't restore system apps and also just do a fresh install and don't restore anything. Sometimes tibu restorations cause problems

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezman:
So my phone has been having the freezing problem.

Sent back for repair twice, of course came back without any fix as intermittent :laugh:

Anyway, over the last few days the freezing seems to have resolved.

The problem is now, since the 2nd 'fix', the S3 can't make/receive any calls/texts!

Mobile internet works fine

Attempted ARIZA patch, patched but problem still remains

Try manual selection - states 'unable to connect - try later'

Status shows network as 'O2 UK' correct

Mobile network type: HSDPA

Service State: Out of Service

What is going on here? Anybody got any ideas? How can I check if it's the EFS? If it is, what can be done?

Many thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Standard answer

CHECK

IMEI is the same as under the battery .

Mobile network APN settings ./ Correct CSC for network

Replace Sim card .

Check correct modem

factory reset

Ask your network .

I understand this is a UI preview, but will the full build be completly linux and use a linux kernel? I really don't want it to use anything Andrtoid related, otherwise it wouldn't truely be linux. :/
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Findee:
They have said they are only doing it at the start for compatibility.

And technically android is full Linux and therefore Ubuntu is now.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMyers:
Hello,

To be honest, both Android and Ubuntu are both Linux based Distributions and both use a Linux kernel. In fact, both distributions branch from the same Linux source tree.

With this said, the touch preview uses the CyanogenMod 10.0 Android fork as a base. Ubuntu is ran inside of a chroot, This means that they are both using a shared kernel.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ysmmda:
you dont like android ? they both from linux
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BukaKing:
I think the confusion here is that when most people who have used a Linux system in the past, prior to Android or didn't know that Android used the Linux kernel, they were actually using GNU/Linux, so they think that is what Linux is. Some people may even mix up that the X server is also a part of Linux.

But Android isn't GNU/Linux so when some one says 'Linux distro', they are probably thinking of a GNU/Linux distro, like Debian, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mint, etc, and not just an OS that also happens to have the Linux Kernel in it.

So the title of this post probably should have been GNU/Linux or Android.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo1337:
android is java+linux and ubuntu is fully linux it's big differece
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
I think you are confusing linux and bsd.

Read #3

In summary- android IS Linux. All the extra stuff you are used to calling Linux is just.... Extra stuff. Linux IS the kernel.

Hey guys, I wanna ask you question, is Ubuntu touch like Ubuntu for arm? i mean it uses the same deb packages or New different OS ?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BukaKing:
By that logic, technically, Android isn't Linux (since Android isn't a Kernel), rather Android uses Linux.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TingTingin:
That would also mean ubuntu isn't Linux

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshumax:
Exactly, ubuntu isn't Linux, it is GNU/Linux meaning it runs the Linux kernel (Just like android does), and contains the GNU utilities and software that make the system usable. Android is also GNU/Linux, but android has less GNU software and most "apps" are run using dalvik. So really ubuntu and Linux are both running "Linux Kernel" but aren't just Linux. Pure Linux would just be the kernel as Linux isn't an OS.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BukaKing:
And that is why they are called Linux distribution.

And even calling Android a distribution is kind of a loose definition of what a distribution is and was. It used to be a long time ago that a distribution was intending to distribute Linux, which the only way Linux would be useful is to also have several applications and modules that make a useable operating system, that is what a distribution was. Android doesn't exactly fit that, users are not even really aware of or deal with Linux related things, although some of the apps they use may access parts of the file system (sysfs, procfs, etc), and users can install software that gives them access also. And it could be argued too though that Ubuntu doesn't exactly fit this either, since there are not stripped down versions and they are starting to force dominance of certain packages, but they still allow for low level access.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TingTingin:
I didn't read your u guys comment fully it's like 1 a.m here but anyways my comment was just show that people often use the word Linux loosely when referring to any Linux based operating system they'll call ubuntu Linux but then when it comes android not so because it's further off the tree and not pure Linux but the only pure Linux OS is well Linux (and yes Linux is an operating system though only command line that's all u need to constitute a OS) so I was just pointing out that this is a bit confusing it makes more sense when you refer to a Linux based OS as a distro but that's kinda hazy if simply using the kernel = distro then android is a distro but then same problem as b4 it's further off the tree so then does it mean it isn't a distro because of that which is actually due to differences with mobile phone hardware but we're taking about the os anyways I was just pointing out that this isn't very black and white

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BukaKing:
It's hard to be completely certain what Canonical will do, but it is very likely it will support multiple languages.

Technically you can build applications on Android in any language you want provided there is a native runtime module or the language compiles to native libraries, but Java always sits in the middle.

From what I have seen with Ubuntu Touch, Java is not even included by default, I saw it pull openjdk when I installed Eclipse, and that Java is not even the same as the one Android uses.

Currently the only API that draws to the display is Qt5 and QML, other APIs like GTK+ and even Qt4 try to use an X server which doesn't exist currently, although you can route to a remote x server and display applications remotely.

But in terms of language support I've tested c, c++, JavaScript, python, bash scripts and java, and I'm almost certain perl will work. Again the problem is though, if they don't have Qt5 bindings they can only display on a remote x server or in a remotely connected terminal and not on the device.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeCriggs:
1) Linux is not, I repeat, NOT an operating system. It's a kernel, which is the core coding which an operating system is based around. The kernel acts as a medium between software and hardware.

2) Ubuntu, Android, Fedora, Arch, WebOS , and etcetera are not Linux. They are Linux based operating systems that are built upon the Linux kernel.

3) BSD, Free BSD, Mac OS X+, iOS, and Solaris are all UNIX based operating systems. Linux is a clone of the UNIX kernel.

4) The GUI is not part of Linux. X server is a back end for the X11 window service. And is not included in the core kernel itself.

5) I like tacos.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crshbndct:
Android is pure linux, with a google init system, rather than a GNU one..

What you are "seeing" when you refer to a comand line is almost enitrely made up of GNU coreutils(bash, ls, cd, rm, cp) running on a linux kernel. Linux is NOT an OS.

A "distro" is usually made up of: The kernel (linux), the GNU coreutils, a package manager, a Desktop Environment, and some integrated applications. "linux" is a kernel. You can replace the kernel with any other compatible kernel, as Arch/HURD, Debian/kFreeBSD, and Arch/BSD have proven. Don't confuse linux with GNU/Linux.

Android is merely a distribution of liunx with a different set of coreutils, tablet based applications, and the play store as a package manager, and Dalvik VM.

linux is NOT andoperating system.
